About two years ago, I gave mention to Johnny Lee’s homebrewed headtracking Wiimote Hack. Ever since, I haven’t seen much on tracking gadgets. That is until rAndom international has teamed up with designer, Chris O’Shea. rAndom international’s interactive art print, ‘Study for a Mirror‘ reminds me of a futuristic etch-a-sketch. Except all the hardwork in producing the artwork is done for you. The frame recognizes when someone is standing in front of it, tracks the face (via a tracking application written by Chris O’Shea) and paints it onto the blank light canvas. The end product then slowly fades away and repeats for the next face.
For those that are interested in this interactive art print, Carpenters Workshop Gallery has available for purchase. With an edition of 8, I’m wondering how expensive each unit is.
